In a milestone for scalable quantum technologies, scientists from Boston University, UC Berkeley, and Northwestern University ...

The race to build the first useful quantum computer is on and may revolutionize the world with brand new capabilities, from medicine to freight logistics.

Let’s think of the last time you sent data without wires. We’re not talking WiFi here, but plain optical signals. Free-space optical communication, or FSO, is an interesting and easy wa… ...

Of course, scaling an all-optical computer capable of 100 GHz speeds to a consumer-friendly level is another factor, and researchers will undoubtedly have their work cut out for them.

A technical paper titled “An All-Optical General-Purpose CPU and Optical Computer Architecture” was published by researchers at Akhetonics. Abstract: “Energy efficiency of electronic digital ...

Bridging the gap between Optical 3D Metrology and Computer Vision Research. The team's new technique integrates the strengths of PMD and SfP while overcoming their weaknesses.

The team fabricated 11-mm-long polymer waveguides using direct laser writing on FR4 glass-epoxy substrates. The waveguides had well-controlled core dimensions (9.0 µm × 7.0 µm), suitable for ...
